● When you fry or bake food, do not leave the cooker. In preheating, set a weaker
heating power, and do not excessively heat the food.
● After using the cooker, confirm that the power supply is turned OFF.
● When cooking food that sticks or has a high viscosity, set a lower heating power
and occasionally stir the food.
● When the cooker is abnormal or has failed, immediately stop using it.
During frying food, follow the following instructions.
● Do not leave the cooker.
● Use an iron pan/pot with an undeformed bottom surface.
● Place the pan/pot at the center of the heating part.
CAUTION
Handling
● As the top plate is hot during use or for a while after use, do not touch it with
your hand.
● Do not use a pan/pot in an unstable condition.
● Do not place an object such as piece of paper, pan/pot coaster, iron plate for
heating use, and top plate dirt-prevention cover under the pan/pot.

■ During or after use of the cooker, the fan operates to perform air suction/exhaust
in order to suppress the temperature rise in the main body.
While the cooker is energized, the sound of the cooling fan is heard, but this is not
an abnormality.
Even after the power supply to the cooker is turned off, the cooling fan operates for
two minutes at the longest until the temperature inside the main body lowers.
■ During cooking, a metallic sound may be generated depending on the type of the
pan/pot, but this is not an abnormality.
■ As the cooker emits magnetic field lines, do not put magnetically sensitive objects
close to the cooker.
・ Objects such as radio, television, hearing aid, cash card, magnetic card, IC card
■ Do not use electromagnetic induction heating cooking equipment, such as an Induction
rice cooker, on the top plate.
The magnetic field lines may cause such the cooker to fail.
■ After using, clean the top plate (after the top plate has cooled down).
■ Do not use the cooker with seasonings left spilled on it. Do not use the cooker with
food that has boiled over from the pan/pot.
■ Keep the pan/pot bottom surface clean. Do not scrape the top plate with a pan/pot
bottom.
If a pan/pot is used with protrusions attached on its bottom, the top plate may be damaged.
■ Do not put a hot pan/pot or a pan/pot that has been cooled in a refrigerator on the
top surface operation panel (indication lamps).
Failure to follow this instruction may cause breakage or failure.
■ Do not splash water on the top surface operation panel.
Failure to follow this instruction may cause the operation keys to malfunction.
■ Do not place seasonings or foods in the cabinet below the main body of the cooker.
Otherwise, the exhaust heat from the cooker may alter the seasonings or foods.

Before Use
■Function to prevent heating when no pan/pot is set (indication LED: )
When no pan/pot is placed or an unusable pan/pot is used, heating
is disabled.
※ The supplying power will stop after 10 minutes.After
that, the power will be turned off automatically after
10 seconds.
■Function to prevent failure to turn off
If no operation has been performed after heating operation, the
power supply will be turned off after a certain period has
elapsed.
※ The period until stopping differs depending on the heating
power. (Refer to the list on the right.)
※ When the booster is used, the heating power switches to “9”
and then the heating automatically stops.
■Function to automatically stop once an abnormality in operation panel is
detected (indication LED: )
An error sound may be generated and the power supply may be turned off if the operation panel
is splashed with liquid due to boiling over or the like, an object is placed on the operation
panel, or two adjacent keys are pressed at the same time.
■Function to prevent overheating (indication LED: / )
When the temperature inside the heater becomes abnormally high as the air inlet/outlet port is
covered or for some other reason, the heating power automatically decreases or the power supply
stops. If the temperature lowers to a normal temperature, the heating power and the power supply
will be restored.
■Function to prevent excessive temperature rise(indication LED: / )
If the temperature of the pan/pot bottom surface becomes abnormally high due to heating of an
empty pan/pot, the power supply to the cooker will be automatically turned off.
* When the heating power is low or depending on the pan/pot type, the power supply may not be
automatically turned off.
※ This function may be triggered when high-temperature cooking such as frying is performed.
■High temperature caution indication (indication LED: )
While the top plate is hot with the power supply turned off, the indication LED “Hot” lights
to notify that condition.
※ This indication is not displayed during cooking.
■Function to automatically turn off Power switch
If no operation has been made for approx. 10 seconds since turning on of the power supply, the
power supply will be automatically turned off.
※If the power supply has been turned off due to triggering of any of the above safety
functions, turn off the power supply once and then perform the intended operation
again.For safety functions, also refer to the relevant items on pages 13 to 14.

What are Usable Pans/Pots?
■ Points of purchase
●Even when a pan/pot is usable, the available heating power varies depending on its shape
and material.
●We recommend that you purchase pots/pots whose bottom is magnetic
【Material】
● Pans/pots made of iron/cast iron
● Pans/pots made of iron enamel
※ Do not heat an empty pan/pot or cause scorching. Failure to follow
this instruction may cause the enamel on the bottom surface to melt
and bake and may damage the top plate.
● Pans/pots made of stainless steel (magnetic)
※ Pans/pots made of 18-8/18-10 stainless steel that is not attracted
by magnet may cause the heating power to lower or disable heating
depending on the pan/pot type.
● Multi-layered pan/pot and pan/pot with attachment (aluminum pans/pots with stainless steel
patch or the like attached on the bottom surface)
Depending on the pan/pot type, there are pans/pots that may disable heating or cause the
heating power to lower.
※ A pan/pot cannot withstand high heating power and may deform depending on the pan/pot type.
In addition, some pans/pots cannot be used at the maximu heating power.
【Shape】
● Pans/pots whose bottom is flat and makes uniform contact with top plate.
● Pans/pots whose bottom diameter is 12 to 26 cm.
Depending on the material of pan/pot and its bottom shape, there are usable
pans/pots and unusable pan/pots. When purchasing a pan/pot, check the material
and bottom shape before use.

【Material】
● Pans/pots made of heat-resistant glass
● Pans/pots whose bottom is not magnetic
● Pottery and porcelain, earthen pot, and others
※ Do not use these pans/pots even when they are indicated as “for
Induction cookers.” Otherwise, the cooker may fail or cooking may
be disabled due to the lowered heating power.
● Pans/pots made of copper
● Pans/pots made of aluminum (aluminum foil pan/pot, retort pack, etc.)
● Fish burner/grill for direct fire
※ With pans/pots with enamel bottom surface in particular, the enamel at the bottom may melt and
bake causing the top plate to be damaged.
【Shape】
● Pans/pots whose bottom diameter (not pan/pot nominal diameter) is less than 12 cm
● Large pans/pots that stick out from top plate
● Pans/pots with round bottom (woks and others)
● Pans/pots with irregularity or warping of approx. 2 mm or greater, and pans/pots with
legs
※Do not perform heating with an object, such as pan/pot coaster and iron plate for heating use,
placed between the top plate and the pan/pot. (Failure to follow this instruction may cause the cooker
to fail.)
